Patent number: 8632312Abstract: The invention introduces a reinforcement of a box girder of a wind turbine blade. The reinforcement prevents the transverse shear distortion of the blade structure, when the blade is loaded during operation. The reinforcement connects the corners diagonally opposite inside the girder, and fixes them in relation to each other. The reinforcement increases the blade's resistance to overall collapse. The reinforcement comprises one or more individual element, such as rods or plates.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Bladena APSInventors: Find Mølholt Jensen, Per Hørlyk Nielsen
